493: Is Prince Duan a doting father to his daughter?

“Yuyu, Seventh Mother will take you to buy sugar figurines. The Prince just returned and still has some things to attend to, so let's not disturb him, okay?” Xiao Die said softly to Duan Ningyu.

“Ah? This... okay.”

“Then, Father, I'll go buy sugar figurines with Seventh Mother first, and I'll bring you something delicious when I get back, okay?” A flash of disappointment crossed Duan Ningyu's eyes, but she still obediently agreed with Xiao Die.

Seeing his daughter's well-behaved appearance, Duan Zhengchun's heart was about to melt.

“This little girl really makes one's heart ache for her.”

“It's no matter. I haven't been back for so long, so other things can wait. Father will take you and your Seventh Mother to buy sugar figurines and delicious food together, okay?” Duan Zhengchun smiled and dotingly pinched her nose.

“Yay... Father is the best! Buying sugar figurines, buying delicious food, yay...”

Upon hearing that Duan Zhengchun was willing to accompany her to buy sugar figurines and delicious food, the little girl immediately waved her hands in excitement.

The little girl's mood immediately infected the others, and they couldn't help but laugh.

“Eh, who are these pretty sisters? Are they also Father's wives?” Duan Ningyu looked at Huang Rong, Invincible East, and Moon Invitation.

These three were not inferior at all to her own mothers, and since they were following her father, their relationship was definitely not ordinary.

Duan Ningyu's words immediately made the three of them blush.

“Haha... our Ningyu is really smart. Well? Do you like these aunts of yours?” Duan Zhengchun said with a laugh.

“I like them, of course I do! Then should I call them Thirteenth Mother, Fourteenth Mother, and Fifteenth Mother?” Duan Ningyu began to count on her fingers.

This appearance of hers immediately made people unable to stifle their laughter.

At this, Huang Rong and the other two finally understood that besides the three of them, Duan Zhengchun already had twelve wives.

This caused the gaze the three of them directed at Duan Zhengchun to become resentful.

They hadn't expected that they were already ranked thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth.

“Uh, as long as you like them.” Duan Zhengchun rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

“Eh, Father, are you shy?” Duan Ningyu looked at Duan Zhengchun curiously.

“Well, didn't you want to eat sugar figurines? Come, Father will take you to buy them.” Duan Zhengchun quickly changed the subject.

Children's words are spoken without restraint; heaven knows what other shocking questions she might ask in a moment.

“By the way, are you coming along, or should I have someone send you back to the Prince's Mansion first?” Duan Zhengchun looked at Huang Rong, Invincible East, and Moon Invitation.

“No rush, let's go together,” Moon Invitation spoke directly.

Huang Rong and Invincible East nodded at the same time.

“Then let's go together...”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and placed the little girl directly on his shoulders. The little girl had never received such treatment before and giggled with excitement.

“Flying!”

Duan Ningyu waved her hands excitedly; the little girl was exceptionally thrilled.

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's actions, Huang Rong, Invincible East, and Moon Invitation were all very surprised.

They didn't expect that Duan Zhengchun would actually like children so much. Given his status, he could actually lower himself to let his daughter ride on his shoulders.

One must know that in this era, the status of women was very low.

If he didn't truly love her, he would never go to such lengths.

After walking around and buying many little things the girl liked, there were so many bags that they couldn't even carry them all.

“Prince, I'll have the servants take the things back first.” Xiao Die looked at Duan Zhengchun with a smile.

“No need for the trouble, just give them to me.”

As Duan Zhengchun spoke, he waved his hand, and in an instant, the pile of items vanished.

This scene immediately stunned several people.

“Wait, Prince, where are the things? Where did they go?” Xiao Die walked around Duan Zhengchun but couldn't find where the items were hidden.

“Don't look for them, I've already put them away. See, isn't it right here!” As Duan Zhengchun spoke, he opened his hand, and a box of the pastries they had just bought appeared in his palm.

“This, what on earth is going on?” Xiao Die asked curiously.

“Just a little trick, no need for such a fuss.” Duan Zhengchun smiled and shook his head.

“Prince, could this be the legendary Sumeru in a Mustard Seed?” Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun in surprise.

“Yes, it's a Mustard Seed Space.” Duan Zhengchun nodded.

“Heavens, such a thing really exists. I've only occasionally heard my father mention it.”

“But I've never seen it before. I didn't expect you to actually have one, Prince.” Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun with a shocked expression.

“Alright, if there's a chance in the future, I'll get one for you all as well. It will make traveling much more convenient.” Duan Zhengchun waved his hand dismissively.

“Really? I'll remember that. If the Prince breaks his word, I won't accept it.” Huang Rong looked at Duan Zhengchun excitedly.

“As a Prince, I naturally will not break my word. Let's go, time to head back.” Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

As soon as they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, a servant came forward to greet them.

“Greetings, Prince, Seventh Consort, Little Commandery Princess.”

“Rise...”

“Prince, I will go inform the Consort immediately.”

After the guard finished speaking, he turned and ran into the Prince's Mansion.

In less than a moment, a figure was seen flashing to the entrance.

“Prince, you're back.” Gan Baobao happened to run into the guard, and upon hearing that Duan Zhengchun had returned, she excitedly came out to welcome him.

She originally wanted to pounce directly on him, but seeing three unfamiliar beautiful women by Duan Zhengchun's side, she immediately stopped herself.

“Fourth Mother, Father is back...” Duan Ningyu waved excitedly at Gan Baobao.

“I see. You little girl, why are you with your father?” Gan Baobao looked at Duan Ningyu dotingly.

“Heehee... Seventh Mother and I went out to buy sugar figurines and happened to run into Father coming back, so we went together. And we bought lots of delicious food!” Duan Ningyu raised her chubby chin with a proud look.

“You really are a lucky girl. Hurry up and get down. Your father is exhausted from his long journey; don't cling to him like that.”

“Come, come to Fourth Mother.” Gan Baobao reached out to take Duan Ningyu.

“No, I want to be with Father. Tonight, I'm going to sleep with Father too.” Duan Ningyu nervously hugged Duan Zhengchun's neck, unwilling to get down.

At this, Gan Baobao felt a bit embarrassed.

Duan Zhengchun had just returned after being away for more than half a year. she had wanted to have a good emotional connection with him tonight, yet this little girl wanted to sleep with him.

If that were the case, how could she foster her relationship with Duan Zhengchun?

At this, the gaze Gan Baobao directed at Duan Zhengchun carried a hint of resentment.

How could Duan Zhengchun not see the meaning in Gan Baobao's eyes? He rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

At this time, a flurry of hurried footsteps was heard, and Dao Baifeng was seen leading a group of people out.

Each of them held an Infant Boy in their arms.

When they saw Duan Zhengchun, several Infant Boys scrambled to get down and rushed toward him.

“Father...”

“Father...”

A group of Infant Boys directly surrounded Duan Zhengchun. He crouched down, released his spiritual energy, and in an instant, all dozen or so Infant Boys were picked up at once.

“Oh my, my darlings, your father missed you to death.” Duan Zhengchun said with a laugh.

“We missed Father too.”
